accidental inclusion of kubuntu packages

[volvoguy]

Hey everybody,

I had a crusty old machine that I was installing Ubuntu on (with the
Array 4 cd I think) and was having some xserver and gnome issues. It
looked like there were a handful of packages that simply didn't get
installed. Unfortunately I'm more familiar with synaptic than the
command line tools, and wasn't aware of the kubuntu packages in
universe now and I did a:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu*

Hoping to just get the "ubuntu-base", "ubuntu-desktop", etc. Now, I
don't mind adding a few KDE/QT apps to the desktop, but with my
limited space on the machine I probably don't need all of
"kubuntu-base" and "kubuntu-desktop" installed. Now that those two
meta-packages have been installed and pulled in a bazillion packages,
what's the best way to remove them? I think the "remove" and "remove
completely" options in synaptic will just deselect them. Any thoughts?
Do I manually need to go through the list of dependencies for those
meta-packages to figure out what to get rid of?

Thanks!
